Xbox Game Pass Getting One of the Best Warhammer Games of All Time Just 2 Days Before Doom: The Dark Ages

To all Xbox Game Pass subscribers, we’re eating good this month in the action genre. Game Pass is about to deliver a one-two punch for action fans this May. On May 13, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 returns to service after celebrating its seventh anniversary this March. This comes just two days before the release of Doom: The Dark Ages.

Vermintide 2 has seen a lot of love from players over the years, and if the game’s continuous updates are any hint, it means that fans still want more. So, before you dive into id Software’s legendary ******-slaying title, make sure to drop by one of the best Warhammer games if you’re a fan.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is coming to Xbox Game Pass

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 originally came out in March 2018 and quickly earned a reputation as one of the best co-op games of its kind. Developed by Fatshark, has often been compared to Left 4 Dead, but with swords and sorcery instead of zombies and guns. And there is some truth to that because the game pits us against hordes of enemies in first-person melee combat.

The game supports four-player co-op and lets you pick fifteen distinct careers across its five heroes, so there’s no question of replayability. With its return to Xbox Game Pass, all that chaotic action is more accessible than ever. Despite its age, Vermintide 2 is still in a good state thanks to consistent updates and a gameplay loop that still works for us today.

As recently as March 2025, the game celebrated its 7th anniversary with a new update. The update was packed with double XP, new portrait rewards, and a fresh Versus map titled A Grudge Served Cold. The game’s return to the Xbox Game Pass library is not only a win for new players but a welcome invitation from everyone else.

After seeing the reviews for DOOM: The Dark Ages, id Software has just achieved legendary status once again.
I’m so ******** hyped next week

Despite newer Warhammer entries like Darktide or Space Marine 2, Vermintide 2 has managed to maintain a steady and loyal player base. The player count on SteamDB still shows that at least a couple of thousand people still play the game regularly. This isn’t a crazy number by any means, but it also goes to show how long the game has lasted.

You could look at it as an appetizer for Doom: The Dark Ages

What makes this re-release on Game Pass especially timely is how it lines up against Doom: The Dark Ages, which releases on May 15. As a prequel to Doom(2016) and Doom Eternal, The Dark Ages is going to bring us the Doom experience that we know and love into a medieval setting.

We will once again embody the iconic Doom Slayer, but this time with an improved focus on the story aspects. Since this is a sequel to the modern games, we will most likely witness the journey that the legendary character went through to become the absolute powerhouse that we know today.

For Game Pass subscribers, this week will no doubt feel like a mini-holiday for dark fantasy and action game lovers. Vermintide 2 brings a proven and polished co-op experience back into our hands while we also get to play the new and shiny Doom game. These two games alone make Game Pass an unbeatable value this month.
